SERIOUS ATTORNEYS FOR SERIOUS INJURIES
Practice Areas
Chandler Ross is the best hands down! You can not go wrong with these attorneys!
— Tracy P.
When a wreck on Loop 820 or a fall at a Grapevine store upends your life, you want a personal injury lawyer who already knows these roads and these courts. Chandler Ross Injury Attorneys represent hurt people across North Tarrant County, from North Richland Hills and Keller to Southlake, Haltom City, Watauga, and the rest of the Mid-Cities.
We take on car and truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, dangerous-property claims, and wrongful death, and we work on a contingency fee, so you owe nothing unless we win. With Tarrant County logging 28,074 crashes in 2024 alone, you are far from the only family asking what comes next.
What comes next is simpler than it feels right now. A good attorney shoulders the parts of a claim that wear you down, such as the investigation, the medical records, and the back-and-forth with adjusters, while you concentrate on getting better. Your obligation generally involves answering some questions and signing forms, while the firm handles the back-and-forth with the opposing parties. Hiring an attorney after a serious accident does not cost you anything to start.
What Does a North Tarrant County Personal Injury Lawyer Actually Do?
Plenty of people picture a lawyer only in a courtroom, yet most of the work happens long before anyone steps into one. Day to day, the job breaks into a handful of tasks we take off your plate:
- Investigating the crash. We pin down exactly how it happened, pulling the police report, photos, camera footage from nearby businesses, and accounts from anyone who saw it.
- Calculating your damages. Your treatment records and a clear tally of what the harm cost you come together, from the emergency visit to the wages lost while healing.
- Dealing with the insurance company. We go straight at the carrier, which would rather settle fast and cheap, and press for the number your case is honestly worth.
- Filing suit when needed. Should the adjuster refuse to be reasonable, we take the fight to court and put it before a Tarrant County jury.
Through it all, you have one team answering your calls and keeping the deadlines steady.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in North Tarrant County
If a careless person or company left you hurt in this part of the metroplex, there is a good chance we can help. We regularly represent clients throughout North Richland Hills, Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, and the rest of the Mid-Cities.
- Wrecks involving cars and trucks on I-35W, Loop 820, and Highway 121 make up a large share of what we see, along with motorcycle riders who go down hard.
- We also represent injured pedestrians and cyclists, families crushed by 18-wheelers, slip-and-fall and premises victims, dog-bite clients, and grieving relatives after a fatal crash.
A reportable collision occurs somewhere in Texas every 57 seconds, so the steady flow of vehicle cases is no surprise, though our reach extends well beyond the highway. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, a short call will settle it at no charge.
The Injuries We See Most Often in North Tarrant County and What Causes Them
Crashes and falls leave behind a familiar set of wounds, and knowing yours helps you understand what the claim must cover. On the road, rear-end hits produce whiplash and neck strain, while harder impacts bring concussions, traumatic brain damage, and spinal cord trauma that can change how you live. Broken bones, herniated discs, torn knee and shoulder ligaments, and deep cuts that scar show up again and again. Internal bleeding and organ damage hide at first, which is one reason you should get checked even when you feel fine.
The source is usually to someone else’s carelessness. Speeding drivers on the freeways, distracted ones drifting out of their lane, and trucks that cannot stop in time account for the bulk of them, along with motorcycle and pedestrian strikes that meet the body with little protection.
Off the road, wet store floors, broken stairs, and unsecured dogs send people to the ER too. Across Texas, 251,977 people were hurt in motor vehicle crashes during 2024, proof that these wounds are anything but rare. Tell us how yours happened, and we will trace it back to whoever should answer for it. We handle these premises liability and slip-and-fall claims throughout Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, and the greater North Tarrant County area.
Will Hiring Us Cost Anything Up Front?
No, and that is by design. We work on contingency, which means our payment comes as a percentage of what we recover for you, never out of your wallet along the way. If we do not win, you do not owe us a fee.
The arrangement lets a single parent in Watauga or a shift worker in Haltom City hire the same caliber of representation a large corporation can afford, without gambling the rent on legal bills.
Your first meeting is free, too, so learning where you stand asks only a little of your time.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim in Texas?
The clock is shorter than most people expect. Texas gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under Section 16.003 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Miss that window, and a court will almost always toss the case out, regardless of how badly you were hurt.
A few narrow exceptions can shift the deadline, such as a victim who was still a minor, though you should never count on any of them.
The safer move is to reach out early, while the evidence is fresh and the witnesses still remember what they saw. Even if you are not ready to commit, knowing your true cutoff protects you.
What If the Car Crash Was Partly Your Fault?
Being partly to blame does not automatically end your claim in Texas. Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule, often called the ’51 percent bar rule,’ set out in Section 33.001 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
Under this rule, a claimant may not recover damages if their percentage of responsibility is greater than 50 percent, meaning you can still recover as long as your share of the fault is 50 percent or less.
Your payment simply drops by your slice of the blame, so a driver judged one-fifth responsible still collects four-fifths of the award. Insurance companies know this rule cold, which is why adjusters work so hard to pin extra fault on you. A lawyer who pushes back on that finger-pointing often stands between you and an empty-handed result.
What Could Your North Tarrant County Personal Injury Claim Cost?
No honest lawyer can promise a figure on day one, since value turns on the harm you suffered and the proof behind it. A solid claim usually adds up your hard costs first: the medical bills, the future care, the paychecks you missed, and the vehicle you have to replace.
On top of that sits the human toll, the pain, the lost sleep, the hobbies and milestones a severe injury quietly steals. Tarrant County alone recorded 983 people with suspected serious injuries in 2024, and each of those numbers stands for a life knocked off course.
Our job is to document every layer of that loss so the insurer cannot wave it away with a lowball offer. Working with a top-rated North Tarrant County attorney is the best first step to take for yourself. Contact us today to learn about the process and how we can assist you.

FAQs About Our North Tarrant County Personal Injury Practice
Do I really need a lawyer for a minor injury?
Maybe not, and an honest firm will tell you so. When the harm is small and the insurer pays fairly, you can often handle the claim yourself. The math changes once the injuries turn serious, the fault is disputed, or the offer feels low, since those are the situations where representation usually pays for itself several times over.
How long will my case take?
It depends on the injuries and the other side. A clean claim with cooperative insurers can wrap in a few months, while a contested fight headed toward trial may run a year or longer. We push for speed without leaving money on the table, and we keep you updated at every turn.
What if the other driver had no insurance?
You may still have a route to compensation. Many Texas drivers carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which can step in when the at-fault party cannot pay. We comb through every policy that might apply, including your own. Finding that coverage is one of the first things we check.
Where do you handle cases across North Tarrant County?
All over the northeast side and beyond. We serve clients in North Richland Hills, Keller, Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Bedford, Hurst, Euless, Watauga, Haltom City, and the communities around them, and we travel to whichever courthouse your case calls for. If you live or were hurt anywhere nearby, reach out, and we will handle the logistics.
